    Verse 1
    My 
    name 
    is 
    Billy 
    Aus
    tin 

    I'm 
    Twenty-Nine 
    years 
    years 
    old 

    I 
    was born 
    in Oklaho
    ma 

    Quarter 
    Cherokee 
    I'm 
    told 

    Don't 
    remember 
    Oklaho
    ma 

    Been 
    so 
    long 
    since 
    I left 
    home 

    Seems 
    like 
    I've 
    always 
    been 
    in pris
    on 

    Like 
    I've 
    always 
    been 
    alone 

    Didn't 
    mean 
    to hurt 
    nobody 

    Never 
    thought 
    I'd cross 
    that 
    line 

    I 
    held 
    up a 
    filling 
    sta
    tion 

    Like 
    I'd 
    done 
    a 
    hundred 
    times 

    The kid 
    done 
    like 
    I told 
    him 

    He lay 
    face 
    down 
    on 
    the floor 

    Guess 
    I'll 
    never 
    know 

    what made 
    me 

    Turn and 
    walk 
    back 
    through 
    that 
    door 

    The shot 
    rang 
    out like 
    thunder 

    My 
    ears 
    rang 
    like 
    a bell 

    No 
    one 
    came 
    run
    nin' 

    So 
    I 
    called 
    the cops 
    myself 

    Took 
    their 
    time 
    to 
    get 
    there 

    And 
    I 
    guess 
    I 
    could'a run 

    I 
    knew I 
    should 

    be 
    feeling 
    something 

    But I 
    never 
    shed 
    tear 
    one 

    I didn't 
    even 
    make 
    the papers 

    'Cause 
    I 
    only 
    killed 
    one 
    man 

    But my 
    trial 
    was over 
    quickly 

    And then the 
    long 
    hard 
    wait 
    began 

    Court 
    appointed 
    law
    yer 

    Couldn't 
    look 
    me 
    in the 
    eye

    He just 
    stood 
    up 
    and closed 

    his briefcase 

    When they 
    sentenced 
    me 
    to 
    die 

    Now 
    my 
    wait
    in's over 

    As 
    the final 
    hour 
    drags 
    by 

    I 
    ain't 
    about 
    to 
    tell 
    you 

    That 
    I 
    don't 
    deserve 
    to 
    die 

    But 
    there's 
    twenty-seven 

    men 
    men 
    here 

    Mostly 
    black
    , 

    brown 
    and poor 

    Most 
    of em 
    are 
    guilty 

    Who 
    are you 
    to 
    say 
    for 
    sure? 

    So 
    when 
    the 
    preacher 

    comes 
    to 
    get 
    me 

    And 
    they 
    shave 

    off 
    all 
    my 
    hair 

    Could you 
    take 
    that 
    long 
    walk 
    with me 

    Knowing 
    hell 
    is 
    waitin' 
    there 

    Could you 
    pull 
    that switch 

    your
    self 
    sir 

    With a sure 
    and 
    steady 

    hand 

    Could you 
    still 
    tell youself 

    That 
    you're 
    better 

    than 
    I 
    am 

    My name 
    is Billy 
    Aus
    tin 

    I'm 
    twenty-nine 
    years 
    years 
    old 

    I

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
